Azimio La Umoja One Kenya coalition leaders say all is set for Friday’s Saba Saba rallies scheduled to be held across the country.
Addressing the media at Kamukunji Grounds in Nairobi where the main rally will be led by Opposition leader Raila Odinga, the Azimio leaders urged their supporters to turn out in large numbers as early as 4.30 am.
“You all know that Saba Saba is a historic day. So tomorrow we begin shaping a new history from this venue led by our leader Raila Odinga. We welcome all Kenyans from all walks of life to begin arriving here as early as 4.30 am… We shall be very peaceful and hold a very peaceful meeting,” said ODM Party Nairobi chairperson George Aladwa
“We want to tell the government and especially the police to give us peace and we shall give you peace,” added Aladwa.
“We welcome Nairobi residents at this historic Kamukunji grounds where the second liberation of Saba Saba happened… The 2023 Saba Saba will officially take place here tomorrow. We want a new Kenya. Tomorrow we are here to start the fourth liberation,” said Mathare MP Antony Oluoch.
The opposition-allied leaders said upon converging at Kamukunji grounds they will proceed on a peaceful march to the Nairobi CBD, pleading with the security apparatus not to disrupt them but offer security.
The rallies have been fragmented in different parts of Nairobi with the same pattern expected in other parts of the country.
